N219 Nurtanio is an Indonesian-built aircraft : Specification, Range & Seats

Welcome back to Jetline Marvel. Did you know that Western nations are more dominant in the aviation industry. because they put a greater priority on research and development, and are skilled at producing high-quality aircraft, based on their experiences. However, despite having a lesser budget project, one country is currently progressively spreading out its aviation technology, and they are doing their best to create their own aircraft. Yes, we’re talking about Indonesian-made N219 planes. It all began in 2006, when they decided to build and manufacture this versatile aircraft.

PT Dirgantara is a corporation located in Indonesia. PTDI has effectively developed and grown its competence as an aerospace industry. since its establishment in 1976 as a state-owned enterprise in Bandung, Indonesia.

Let’s speak about the N219 aircraft, which is a new generation multi-purpose aircraft with the largest cabin cross section in its class, a proven and efficient engine, modern avionics system, fixed tricycle landing gear, and a wide cargo door to make changing aircraft configuration easier. As a result, N219 Nurtanio is designed to give operators with technical and economic benefits.

This aircraft may be employed for a variety of missions, including passenger and troop transport, freight and medical supplies, surveillance, and patrolling.

The aircraft is 16.49 metres in length, 19.5 metres in wingspan, and 6.18 metres in height.

The maximum take-off weight of this aircraft is 7,030 kg, while the fuel capacity is 1,600 kg. It has a maximum range of 890 kilometers and a payload of 2,313 kg.

Boeing has achieved a significant milestone by providing NASA with the second core stage of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket.

This crucial component, crafted at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF), is set to propel the Artemis II crew into lunar orbit, marking humanity’s return to deep space after a 50-year hiatus.

The monumental Boeing-built rocket stage, the largest element of the Artemis II mission, will embark on a journey aboard the Pegasus barge, traveling 900 miles to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.

Upon arrival, it will be meticulously integrated with other essential Artemis II components, including the upper stage, solid rocket boosters, and NASA’s Orion spacecraft within the iconic Vehicle Assembly Building. This intricate integration process is a vital step toward the eagerly anticipated Artemis II launch, slated for 2025.

“Boeing-built products helped land humankind on the moon in 1969, and we’re proud to continue that legacy through the Artemis generation,” remarked Dave Dutcher, vice president and program manager for Boeing’s SLS program. “Together, with NASA and our industry partners and suppliers, we are building the world’s most capable rocket and paving the way to deep space through America’s rocket factory in New Orleans.”

The delivery of Core Stage 2 marks a significant achievement in the evolution of the SLS rocket. Towering over 200 feet and powered by four RS-25 engines, this core stage, coupled with two solid-fueled booster rockets, will generate a staggering 8.8 million pounds of thrust. This immense power is crucial to launching Artemis II and future missions into the vast expanse of space.

The SLS rocket stands unparalleled in its capability to transport both crew and substantial cargo to the moon and beyond in a single launch. Its extraordinary capacity will facilitate the delivery of human-rated spacecraft, habitats, and scientific missions to destinations including the moon and Mars, ushering in a new era of space exploration.
